Assistance, DSA and help during university
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2017 9:50 am
Hey guys,
I got diagnosed with dyspraxia a couple of weeks ago at the age of 19. I'm currently in the process of applying for DSA and within that I need to have a chat with a key worker to discuss what help I need (which I assume has a role in how much I get from DSA)
So far I have decided I need (or financial help in getting) a laptop (I don't have one of my own), a recording device for lectures, dyspraxia stickers and early access to modules guides and lectures.
I was told to take some time to think about what I need because otherwise it would take a while for them to rearrange help for me after. It just makes it easier and quicker for me.
So is there anything that helped any of you? Anything you'd recommend? Or equally any software you found useful?
Many thanks
